Origins

Initially named ‘Medical Technology Services Ltd’ (commonly known as M.T.S. Ltd), the company was launched in 1978 and the early years saw its operations focus mainly on installation and maintenance contracts in North Africa, for Coultronics of France and for Philips Medical Systems of The Netherlands. This enabled M.T.S. Ltd to acquire hands-on experience in the servicing of hospital and laboratory equipment, achieving a solid reputation for ability, credibility and reliability in the process.

A milestone and a logical step forward in the company's evolution was the transition from a purely servicing firm to a restructured organisation, with strategic objectives encompassing sales and advisory services pertaining to a wider range of product lines. The latter included scientific equipment, hospital products and other product segments not directly related to these fields.

In 1987 the corporate name was changed from Medical Technology Services Ltd to Technoline Ltd, as a move intended to impart a broader prospective of the company's diversified product and service base. The change of name simultaneously reflected the raison d'être of its core business more accurately, namely that of offering a professional and efficient service in all areas of the many and varied operations which it undertakes.

In 1991 the operations moved from Sliema to a modern and more logistically centred location in Gzira, a suburb in the vicinity of St Luke's General Hospital (the general hospital in Malta at the time), the University of Malta, and various private clinics. The new state-of-the art general hospital called Mater Dei, which was inaugurated in 2007, is situated within a five-minute drive from Technoline’s offices.

With almost 40 years of experience, Technoline is now established as a pioneer in the medical and scientific industries in Malta and as a trustworthy and reliable supplier to several major companies and corporations.
